<ab> v. <lex> gender markup #124

Closed funderburkjim closed 1 year ago

funderburkjim commented 2 years ago

in csl-orig/v02/mw/mw.txt (as of commit ab4e97f3bbde717d489efc572096af9072cec1a2), there are 136 matches to the regex <ab>[mfn]+\.</ab>. For example

<s>AvayAs</s> ¦ <lex>m.</lex> (<ab>f.</ab> ?) <ab>pl.</ab> water, <ls>Nigh. i, 12.</ls><info lex="m"/>

In most of these cases, a better markup would use <lex> tag, perhaps with one of its attributes. And also, the corresponding <info lex=.../> element would be altered. In this example, we might better use

<s>AvayAs</s> ¦ <lex>m.</lex> (<lex>f.</lex> ?) <ab>pl.</ab> water, <ls>Nigh. i, 12.</ls><info lex="m:f"/>

This condition was noticed in work of #123.

This seems like a fairly low-priority item. Mentioning it in separate issue so it can be reconsidered sometime.

Agree

I have "handled" all such cases in my current review, and this issue is closable now.
